FluteE 1900.65

The central section of a flute carved in argillite. At both ends are pieces of metal (lead or pewter) set into the argillite, one end is a tube-like section covering a slightly narrower end, the other is a shaped inlay. Along the length of the flute are three frogs (one has had its head broken off). In between the frogs are the stop holes, positioned in decorative bands of curleque and leaf motifs. At the metal inlay end is an eagle with a protruding belly, tail flat against the flute barrel, and wings and legs wrapped round the back and sides. The eagles' beak is slightly open and its head is raised from the surface, behind the head is grooved fan-like design.; Good
